What to Expect

BEFORE YOUR SESSION

If it is your first visit, please allow a few extra minutes before your session to fill out on intake form. It is important to be thorough with your intake, so that your session can be properly customized to you and your body. Please be sure to note any recent injuries, medical conditions, allergies, or conditions where prompted on your intake form. There is a separate waiting room for you to relax in prior to your session.

STARTING YOUR SESSION

Most modalities take place on a padded massage table (heated in cool weather). The sheets used on the table are high thread-count 100% cotton for maximum comfort. Lighting and music can be adjusted to your preference. Aromatherapy is available using therapeutic-grade essential oils of your choosing.

At the start of your session, we will speak about your goals, pick aromatherapy (if desired), and you will be left alone to undress and get on the table. While it is appropriate for you to be completely undressed while receiving bodywork, you may undress to your specific level of comfort. Rest assured, you will not be exposed at any time. Only the part of the body specifically being worked on will be undraped, and then re-draped as the massage continues.

If this is a Reiki or Shiatsu session, you will remain clothed. Please choose loose, comfortable clothing (as you would for yoga, for instance) as opposed to jeans. Long sleeves are preferable.

Please take this opportunity to silence your cell phone.

DURING YOUR SESSION

Some people enjoy talking or asking questions. Some prefer silence. This is entirely up to you, but please communicate if at any point you are feeling pain or discomfort. If you would like more or less pressure, if you are too warm or too cold, or if you need anything adjusted, don't be shy about letting me know. Most importantly, just relax. If you have trouble shutting down, concentrate on breathing deeply, close your eyes, and just let the session proceed. If you are a client who usually likes to chat, but would prefer to nap sometimes, don't hesitate to let me know. Ask any questions at any time.

AFTER YOUR SESSION

Take your time getting off the table, breathe deeply, and take note of how your body feels. Try to take it easy for the rest of the day if possible, and be sure to drink a lot of water.

PAYMENTS

Jaya Bodywork Studio accepts cash and checks only at this time. If you would like to pay via credit card, arrangements can be made in advance via Paypal.
